Mr. Chairman, this motion recommends that the Minister direct that the worker's advisor draw up a proposal to provide for assistance to workers who need expert medical evidence and/or legal assistance with judicial reviews to move their case forward. Mr. Chairman, the response given to this recommendation, this motion number 37, seems to completely avoid the request here. There's no information in here whatsoever that says that the worker's advisor was contacted and asked for how this could be done. All we have here, Mr. Chairman, is a reply that seems to have been drawn up by the WCB, not by the worker's advisor, to why this isn't necessary. This is a question for the Minister. Why wasn't the worker's advisor brought into the response to this recommendation?
